As we traveled around the neighborhood, we practiced her "high frequency" words from school, talked about dreams, and stalked a few stray cats.
Towards the end of our walk, we came across a yard with dandelions. I love that Kristina still sees dandelions as "flowers" vs "weeds". Anyways, who can pass up the opportunity to pick the dandelion, make a wish and blow the seeds into the evening breeze (towards the neighbor's yard - not ours!)?
So Kristina announces "Hmmm, I have to make a wish."
Me: "What would that wish be?"
Kristina (after tapping her chin as if in pensive thought...): "I wish for 152 Lauras and 152 Jons."
Me: "152 mommies and daddies?"
Kristina: "Yeah, for the kids who don't have a mommy and a daddy."
Ugh - just warmed my heart. I know with Christmas approaching, that the wishes will soon turn to puppies, Barbie stuff and other toys. But for now, well, 152 would make a dent in the 153,000,000 orphans of the world.
Here's to you, kid, and I hope your wish for the children of the world comes true!!
Love you, mommy xoxoxo

Don't you just love these babies??? My little man always says he is wishing for family. . .when I remind him he has one, he says yes, but so many don't! Simultaneously melts and breaks my heart every time.
God bless!
She could NOT be any sweeter! What a precious wish and what a compliment to you and Jon! Karsen tells me often that I'm a mean mommy so its nice to hear other girls her age are much softer. I wouldn't trade my hater for anything, but I do enjoy reading these positive things about Kristina!
